That's possible, too.  Iinet tend to have a problem with admitting the
existence of problems.

Nothing :)  I'm using the PPPoe client built into the modem.  Mostly it
says "LCP Echo[?] Timeout" or sometimes "unable to find ppppoe server".  I
also got a "Physical Line Error" once, but that was when Telstra screwed up
something at the exchange.
